At the time we were new to boating and I had taken my family and a friends out on the water. When a lady started screaming at us - I knew I was in the right - but it was easier to pull anchor and...

Did the 1% Win at Kona?

My first adult experiences at Winny were visiting a friend. He and his wife took me and mine to a large deep sandy bay he called Kona. There must have been 100 boats rafting in 6-10' of water. No...

Earlier this week on WMUR weather they showed stats on days over 90 degrees in Concord, NH. I might have the numbers off by 1 or 2, but they said the average was 9 days over 90, last year was 15 and...

A Big Fan.

We're weekend boaters in Moultonborough and always enjoy the good local restaurants (Canoe, Lemongrass, Lago's and others), but lately Lavinias has been our 'go to' spot. We usually eat at the bar...

Happy with HK also.

I've bought 3 machines from HK in Hooksett and always serviced them there. Very happy. I saved a bit on #2 by buying a leftover from the prev year.

Same here...

It would be great to be able to go to a show by boat and avoid the auto traffic. Maybe it's a business opportunity for the marina's/clubs located there. I'd pay $50 (or maybe even $100) to park for...

Its all about the wind.

I agree with the prev post - it's the wind that's challenging. On a calm day (which we get about 2-3 days of that during a reg summer) you can learn to dock pretty well in about an hour....just go...

Great point about kids going under quietly. I was vacuuming my above ground pool and let a 6 year old sit on the side until I was thru. While looking away, he slid in and I never heard it. I...

Yeah - now that you mention it - I'm no electrician, but I know any electrical work near a pool/hot tub, bathroom sink, lake,...., should be GFI protected. I'm not sure if we are, but I will...
